4. Loosen hex nuts that secure eccentric
bushings attached to guide bearings (see
Figure 73).

5. Adjust bearings as necessary to force blade
90° to vise, then tighten hex nuts.
Note: Since the bearings twist the blade into
position, it is acceptable if there is 0.001"-
0.002" gap between the blade and the front
or back of the bearing. Just make sure not
to squeeze the blade too tightly with the
bearings. After the guide bearings are set,
you should be able to rotate guide bearings
(although they will be stiff) with your fingers.
The backing bearing is not adjustable and
should make light contact with blade.
